1 Yohane 5
1 Obiara a ogye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Agyenkwa no yɛ Onyankopɔn ba. Na obiara a ɔdɔ Agya no dɔ ne mma no nso.
Whosoever believeth that, Jesus, is the Christ, of God, hath been born: and, whosoever loveth him that begat, loveth him that hath been begotten of him.
2 Eyi na ɛma yehu sɛ yɛdɔ Onyankopɔn mma; sɛ yɛbɛdɔ Onyankopɔn na yɛadi nʼahyɛde so.
Hereby, perceive we, that we love the children of God, as soon as, God, we love, and, his commandments, we are doing.
3 Ɔdɔ a yɛdɔ Onyankopɔn no kyerɛ di a yedi nʼahyɛde so. Na nʼahyɛde no nso sodi nyɛ den mma yɛn,
For, this is the love of God—that, his commandments, we be keeping, and, his commandments, are not burdensome;
4 efisɛ Onyankopɔn ba biara tumi di wiase so. Yɛnam yɛn gyidi so di wiase so nkonim.
Because, whatsoever hath been born of God, overcometh the world; and, this, is the victory that hath overcome the world—our faith.
5 Hena na obetumi adi wiase so? Obi a ogye di sɛ Yesu yɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no nko ara.
[And] who is he that overcometh the world, save he that believeth that, Jesus, is the Son of God?
6 Yesu Kristo yɛ obi a ɔnam nsu ne mogya so bae. Ɛnyɛ nsu nko so na ɔnam bae na mmom, nsu ne mogya. Na ɛyɛ Honhom no na edi ho adanse efisɛ Honhom no ne nokware no.
This, is he that came through means of water and blood, Jesus Christ: not, by the water, only, but, by the water and by the blood, —and, the Spirit, it is, that is bearing witness, because, the Spirit, is the truth.
7 Nnansefo baasa na wɔwɔ hɔ.
Because, three, are they who are bearing witness—
8 Honhom no, nsu no ne mogya no. Saa nnansefo yi adwene hyia.
The Spirit, and the Water, and the Blood; and, the three, are, [witnesses], unto one thing.
9 Yegye adanse a nnipa di no di; nanso adanse a Onyankopɔn di no mu yɛ den yiye. Na saa adanse no na Onyankopɔn adi afa ne Ba no ho.
If, the witness of men, we receive, the witness of God, is, greater. Because, this, is the witness of God—in that he hath borne witness concerning his Son, —
10 Enti obi a ogye Onyankopɔn Ba no di no agye saa adanse yi adi wɔ ne koma mu. Na obi a onnye Onyankopɔn nni no ama Onyankopɔn ayɛ ɔtorofo, efisɛ wannye adanse a Onyankopɔn di faa ne Ba no ho no anni.
He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the witness, within himself: He that doth not believe God, false, hath made him, —because he hath not believed on the witness which, God, hath witnessed, concerning his Son—
11 Eyi ne adanse no: Onyankopɔn ama yɛn nkwa a enni awiei; na saa nkwa no wɔ ne Ba no mu. (aiōnios g166)
And, this, is the witness: —that, life age-abiding, hath God given unto us, and, this life, is, in his Son: (aiōnios g166)
12 Obiara a ɔwɔ Ɔba no wɔ saa nkwa no, na obiara a onni Ɔba no nni nkwa no.
He that hath the Son, hath, the life, —he that hath not the Son of God, hath not, the life.
13 Merekyerɛw mo a mugye Onyankopɔn Ba no din di no eyi sɛnea ɛbɛma moahu sɛ mowɔ nkwa a enni awiei. (aiōnios g166)
These things, have I written unto you—in order that ye may know that ye have, Life Age-abiding—unto you who believe on the name of the Son of God. (aiōnios g166)
14 Na anidaso a yɛwɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn anim ne sɛ, yenim sɛ biribiara a yebisa no wɔ ne pɛ mu no, otie yɛn.
And, this, is the boldness which we have towards him: that, if, anything, we ask, according to his will, He doth hearken unto us.
15 Bere biara a yebisa no no, otie yɛn. Yɛahu sɛ eyi yɛ nokware yi, yenim nso sɛ ɔma yɛn nea yebisa no biara.
And, if we know that he doth hearken unto us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the things asked, which we have asked of him,
16 Sɛ obi hu sɛ ne nua ayɛ bɔne bi a ɛmfa no nkɔ owu mu a, ɔmmɔ Onyankopɔn a ɔbɛma no nkwa no mpae mma no. Eyi fa wɔn a wɔn bɔne mfa wɔn nkɔ owu mu no ho. Bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a ɛde onipa kɔ owu mu na ɛno ho de, menka sɛ mommɔ ho mpae nkyerɛ Onyankopɔn.
If one should see his brother committing a sin, not unto death, he shall ask, and He will grant unto him life, —for them who are sinning, not unto death. There, is, a sin, unto death: not concerning that, am I saying, that he should make request.
17 Afideyɛ nyinaa yɛ bɔne, nanso bɔne bi wɔ hɔ a enkowie owu mu.
All unrighteousness, is, sin, and there, is, a sin, not unto death.
18 Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn ba biara nkɔ so nyɛ bɔne, efisɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no bɔ wɔn ho ban, na ɔbonsam ntumi nyɛ wɔn bɔne.
We know that, whosoever hath been born of God, is not committing sin, —Nay, he that hath been born of God, He keepeth him, and, the wicked one, doth not touch him.
19 Yenim sɛ yɛyɛ Onyankopɔn mma, na wiasefo de wɔhyɛ ɔbonsam tumi ase.
We know that, of God, are we; and, the whole world, in the wicked one, is lying.
20 Yenim sɛ Onyankopɔn Ba no aba, na wama yɛahu nokware Nyankopɔn no. Ɔno ne nokware no, Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn ba no. Ɔno ne Nyankopɔn nokwafo a ɔma daa nkwa no. (aiōnios g166)
We know, moreover, that, the Son of God, hath come, and hath given us insight, so that we are getting to understand, him that is Real, —and we are in him that is Real, in his Son Jesus Christ. This, is the Real God, and life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
21 Me mma, montwe mo ho mfi abosom ho.
Dear children! Guard yourselves from idols.
